RED CROSS NOTES
To the Women of Clinton and
Community,
Never before has the Red Cross
been so isacred, never before has it
had such a task to face. With the
breaking of the long awaited invasion
news, where your husband, your son,
or perhaps • your friend, is. giving his
All for the cause of humanity„ the
Red Cross as always, stands ready
to relieve suffering, to bring comfort
to body and mind alike. Only through
the Red Cross can you contact your
loved ones in foreign lands. Only the
Red Cross can bring food, sustenance
and comfort to your boy in an enemy
prison camp. The peoples of Occupied
Countries • wi11 be in crying need of
supplies of all kinds, food, clothing
and bedding, and the Red Cross is
going to be ready. This means that
each and every one of us is going to
hav to renew our pledge, to increase
our efforts, that we may keep faith
with our fighting men on Sea, in the
Air and on the Land. You are the Red
Cross, ,and we beseech you to con-
tinue your work and to try to squeeze
in, some extra hours of sewing or
knitting. Can you enlist your neigh-
bour to duplicate what you are do-
ing? The need has never been great-
er.
reater. Did you ever try to put yourself
in the place of these poor unfortun-
ate people of war devastated count-
ries, or in the place of someone who
has been hurt and saddened by the
loss of someone very dear? Things
at home then seem very insignificant,
and our efforts very weak. •
The weeks and months ahead will
hold many anxious hours, and many
heart breaks, and for alI the Matters
and Wives waiting at home, we offer
our heartfelt prayers, that your loved
one may be spared to returntoyou
once again, to help restore a war-
torn world to one off peace and happi-
ness. Again we plead let us keep
faith and renew our efforts.
Louise R. Oakes,
pres., C. R. C, S.
The regular meeting was held in
the council chambers. on Monday with
an excellent representation. Reports
from alll committees were read and
while a great amount of work is be-
ing accomplished, the convenors
think there must be a lot of women
who have not yet seen the need for
them to put their shoulder to the
wheel. Every one is needed, and
everyone is most welcome at the
sewing rooms, to sew' in your own
heme, or knit. Our sailors are in con-
stant demand of warm woollies, the
survivors bundles are on every ship.
Our airmen and land forces, and the
civilians, all must be clothed. Think
it over and see what you can do.
A splendid box for Russian Relief
was sent during the month, and any-
one having donations of clothing
for this work may leave it at the
